Read the following paragraph from the section: “Isn’t This Just Freedom of Speech?”

“Yes, freedom of speech is a key component of an American’s rights. In spite of saying that, some people have taken it way too far. Americans have the right to say whatever they want under freedom of speech (just as long as it isn't harmful), but there are a few key differences between sharing opinions or thoughts compared to speeches of hate and racist remarks. For one, freedom of speech isn’t the cause of hate speech existing, even though it allows it to occur. The latter is started usually due to a lack of information of the group that is being targeted, or due to experience and bias from family, the person’s communities, and more.”
